Can't Update With freebsd-update
I have been using freebsd-update to fetch binary security related updates since I started using FreeBSD this time last year. However, when I ran it tonight and paid attention to the initial output, I saw the following: The following files are affected by security fixes, but have not been updated because they have been modified locally: /boot/kernel/kernel /etc/rc.d/jail /lib/libcrypto.so.4 /usr/lib/libcrypto.a /usr/lib/libcrypto_p.a /usr/lib/libssl.a /usr/lib/libssl_p.a /usr/sbin/lwresd /usr/sbin/named No updates available I haven't compiled anything on my system from source (base system related anyway, ports yes) so why would this be reporting? Is there anyway I can grab the binary updates at this point and go from here? Thanks in advance!

Resizing Partitions, Losing Windows XP...
I have been dual booting FreeBSD and Windows XP for quite sometime. However, I never boot into Windows XP any longer. I can pretty much do everything I need to do from within FreeBSD. Is there a way that I can wipe out the Windows XP partition, resize the FreeBSD partition, and install a standard FreeBSD MBR (no boot manager) without slicking and reloading the hard drive? I really like the way I have my stuff setup within FreeBSD and would hate to have to recreate a lot of it as well as install applications over again. Could I do a dump of my current FreeBSD partition, reformat and partition the whole drive, install FreeBSD, and then restore my data to the new partition or would this cause issues? Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

That would be one good way of doing it.Just make sure and check your dumps before wiping everything. (create a scratch space. Cd to it and read a few things back from the dumps and check them. You don't need to reformat the drive - that is too low level for this. Just fdisk it and put all the disk in one slice - slice 1. Make that slice marked bootable.Then use bsdlabel (disklabel pre 5.xxx) to divide up the slice in to partitions. They will need to be the same partition identifiers (a-h) as used currently. Finally, use newfs to build filesystems on the partitions (except for swap) and then restore the dumps to their original partitions. Make sure you mount the partition as something and then cd in to that appropriate partition to do the restore. You will need to do the wiping and rebuilding from some other media such as a fixit CD or another bootable disk. You can't wipe the slice that you are running from. An alternative would be to leave the existing slice alone, but use fdisk to mark the MS slice as a FreeBSD slice (not bootable) and then either create one single partition in that slice or divide it as you choose and use newfs to create file systems. Then, create a mount point for each new partition you made (put them in /etc/fstab and mount them up. Then move some of your big directories in the existing FreeBSD slice over then and made symlinks to them.That way you would free up room in the FreeBSD bootable slice, but not have to dump/restore and rebuild everything. It is quicker and works just as well, but slightly less clean, though it could be helpful if your file systems are too large for your backup media. jerry Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Is that why I would be setting the bootable flag in fdisk? I am currently using NTLOADER to boot Windows XP and FreeBSD 6.1-SECURITY.

I just realized something. The box that I've been developing AutoFS on, here at FSL is a Dell Power Edge SE 1425. I dunno how much hardware there is in common, but I think we use the same cdrom drive. The one in my PE is a thin-profile drive... it seems to be the exact part that I had in an old Dell Inspiron. (The drive has no tray motors, just an electro-mechanical latch which keeps it closed, and unlocks to let a spring pop out the tray by a few millimetres.) Have you tried removing the cdrom drive from the mainboard? Also how did you install, from CDROM? I have seen an issue like this once before, back in 5.2.1 and 5.3, when trying to get it to boot on some older laptop hardware. The kernel wouldn't boot from some media, but would from others. You may want to try someone's custom compiled kernel, not the stock kernels... But at this point, it is beyond the scope of a simple fix. I am curious to know, however, because I have not seen this behavior. Regards, -- Adam David Alan Martin The CD-ROM you described is exactly what is in the PE850. I haven't tried unplugging it from the motherboard but will give that a try today. I installed from the CD and everything went as expected. My only issue is that I _have_ to use verbose logging at boot in order to get it to come up. Strange...

I'm guessing the other response that made mention where the startup scripts are not needed anymore on the later version would stand correct. I just created these two scripts (000.compat4x.sh and 000.compat5x.sh) in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and everything works as expected after a reboot. I am currently running compat4x-i386-5.3_9 and compat5x-i386-5.4.0.8_7. However, without these startup scripts they wouldn't start after a reboot. Everything is good now! Thanks for your help!

Dell PE850 and FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE - Boot Issues
I am trying to run FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on a Dell PowerEdge 850 with some booting issues. I have searched the archives and found someone having a problem with the machine booting too fast but my problem is a little different. My machine hangs up after the following line is displayed during boot: acd0: CDROM TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E-N/3.AB at ata0-master UDMA33 I have to poke the machine in the eye to get it back. The keyboard and everything locks up at that point. The only way I can get the machine to boot up successfully is to use option 5 from the boot menu, Verbose Logging. Is there a way around this? I know this is ghetto but just being able to make the machine use that boot menu option as the default would work fine I believe. It would ultimately be nice to not have this issue on boot but the verbose logging option seems to boot fine so that would work for the interim. I am attaching my dmesg output from the verbose boot.

Re: Dell PE850 and FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE - Boot Issues
Adam Martin wrote: On 2006 Sep 18 , at 16:25, Jeff Cross wrote: I am trying to run FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on a Dell PowerEdge 850 with some booting issues. I have searched the archives and found someone having a problem with the machine booting too fast but my problem is a little different. My machine hangs up after the following line is displayed during boot: acd0: CDROM TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E-N/3.AB at ata0-master UDMA33 I have to poke the machine in the eye to get it back. The keyboard and everything locks up at that point. The only way I can get the machine to boot up successfully is to use option 5 from the boot menu, Verbose Logging. Is there a way around this? I know this is ghetto but just being able to make the machine use that boot menu option as the default would work fine I believe. It would ultimately be nice to not have this issue on boot but the verbose logging option seems to boot fine so that would work for the interim. I am attaching my dmesg output from the verbose boot. I can't seem to get anything in messages or dmesg from one of the failed boot attempts. I do not know what's causing this, but for the meantime, if you edit /boot/defaults/loader.conf and copy the line that reads: verbose_loading=NO Paste this line into /boot/loader.conf, (or /boot/loader.conf.local, depending upon your setup...) and change NO to YES. This will force verbose loading, always. I don't know if this will do everything IDENTICAL to boot option 5, however, when looking at the Forth code for it, it appears that it will, on first glance (but I'm a bit rusty on that...) Any help is greatly appreciated. If more information is required to troubleshoot this further, please let me know. Good luck. I hope that people still read this thread, to help diagnose your dmesg, and find your problem. This is really just a temporary fix.

compat4x and compat5x

I was able to immediately run the application in question and didn't have to force a reinstall of compat5x.

Find the Date a Port Was Installed
I have recently upgraded to RELENG_6_1 and have attempted a portupgrade on all ports since the upgrade so that new libs, etc. are being used with the installed ports. When it *finally* finished I saw that 9 ports were not upgraded due to various reasons but because I did this from the command line I couldn't scroll up to see what 9 ports failed. Is it possible to determine which ports weren't upgraded so I can deal with them manually or is it possible to show the install date for all ports? If I can pull the install date for all of them I can see which ones are older than today and deal with them individually. I looked at the man page for pkg_info to see if there was anything I could do there to list the installed ports along with an installation date but I didn't see anything. Any ideas?

Upgrading from 6.0 to 6.1
This has possibly been discussed a number of times, and if it has, I apologize. Here is my situation: I would like to upgrade my existing 6.0-SECURITY system to 6.1-RELEASE and continue using freebsd-update to keep my system on the up and up. I read through the upgrade instructions on disk #1 of the 6.1 release CD and wondered if that would be the easiest way to upgrade? From what I read, all of the configuration files for 6.1 would be in the /etc/upgrade folder. Would they have to stay there? Would 6.1, from this point forward, always have the /etc folder in /etc/upgrade? Do I copy new pieces back to /etc for the production system? I read about merging but does it merge from /etc to /etc/upgrade? Is another scenario to do the cvsup method and go that route? If I did, would I be able to use freebsd-update from that point forward or would I be limited to only using the cvsup method? I know both require merging config files and what not, which makes me a little nervous, but I would like the easiest method available. I love using FreeBSD and use it primarily on my laptop so compiling the entire OS on there may take a while so obviously the binary upgrade looks good. I am just unsure about the /etc/upgrade folder and how I get all of that back to /etc. I am somewhat a noobert in FreeBSD... I have been using it for less than a year and really enjoy it over my past Linux experiences. However, things like this make me nervous. This is my first upgrade of a machine I use *all* the time.
